The following information is from an RCMP press release:
Around 11:30 a.m. April 14, Maidstone RCMP received a complaint of a theft from a gas station in Lashburn. The suspect vehicle involved with the complaint, a black Dodge Caravan, matched the description of a vehicle involved in an alleged robbery and assault with a weapon the day before in Regina.
Maidstone RCMP, the release continues, located the vehicle on Highway 16 and activated emergency equipment, but the van didn’t stop.
RCMP followed the van along Highway 16 heading east.
The van stopped off Highway 16 near Delmas and a firearm was discharged from the van. An RCMP member discharged their firearm.
An RCMP vehicle struck the van and the van became stuck in a ditch. A firearm was pointed toward RCMP and an RCMP member discharged their firearm.
Pinder and Petrucka were arrested at the scene. Petrucka received medical treatment for minor injuries as a result of an intervention by Police Dog Services.
